[chairs] OASIS Symposium | TC Involvement

Dear OASIS TC Chairs:

Happy New Year!

We are sending out a final reminder to all our TCs -- to submit at least
one

presentation, tutorial, and/or panel session for our annual spring OASIS

Symposium on “eBusiness and Open Standards: Understanding the Facts,

Fiction, and Future”, 15-20 April 2006 in San Diego, California. All TC

Members are welcome to submit a proposal for the program.  The deadline
was

extended until this Friday - 5 January 2007. Guidelines and submission

details may be found at:

http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium/2007/call-for-participation.php.

TCs are also encouraged to schedule face-to-face (F2F) meetings in

conjunction with the event.  We have taken the time to evaluate all
the

feedback from last year (as well as previous years) and have decided to

waive the meeting fee and adjust our offerings. Details on these adjustments

may be found on the website at:

http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium/2007/committee-meetings.php.

In addition to all the above, we're planning several special

"member-related" events at the Symposium. One such event will
be our annual

"OASIS TC Lightning Rounds". As you know, this is a great opportunity
to

educate the members on what your TC is accomplishing, find out the status
of

related work, appeal for input, and identify areas for liaison and

development. Each TC should designate one representative to deliver a short

presentation on the work of the TC. Presentations will be compiled and

posted on the OASIS website for future reference. Similar to last year,
we

are hoping for approximately 3-4 slides or 2-3 minutes worth of compact

status data and pointers per TC.

Standards work is significantly improved by the kind of broad

cross-fertilization that the Symposium facilitates. We do hope you consider

these great opportunity for we want to emphasize how important co-location

and community-building is to our work at OASIS. We had a great turnout
last

year and are very hopeful that our co-location option will be even more

positive this year.

As an OASIS Technical Committee Member, your help is needed to:

1. submit a presentation, panel session, and/or tutorial proposal by the

deadline of 5 January

2. discuss the advantages of holding a F2F at the Symposium during your
next

TC meeting

3. reserve TC meeting space using the online form

(http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium/2007/committee-meetings.php),

as soon as possible, so space can be allocated

4. and designate a representative to deliver an update on your TC's work

during our annual TC Lightning Round Sessions

Thank you in advance for your support. We look forward to seeing you all
in

San Diego.

Regards,

Jane
